Safeguarding Pupils

Our safeguarding policy is available on request from the school office. As a school we are committed to safeguarding, promoting the welfare of children and young people. Our expectation is that all staff and volunteers share in this commitment.

In 2012 we became one of the first schools in the country to be awarded the new Safeguarding Standard.

Child Exploitation & Online Protection Centre

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre -- CEOP for short -- is a UK police agency with a difference. It has the teeth of any other police force and works to track offenders wherever they may be.

THINKUKNOW

GetNetWise

GetNetWise is a public service brought to you by Internet industry corporations and public interest organizations to help ensure that Internet users have safe, constructive, and educational or entertaining online experiences. The GetNetWise coalition wants Internet users to be just "one click away" from the resources they need to make informed decisions about their and their family's use of the Internet. More information is available. GetNetWise is a project of the Internet Education Foundation.

ParentINFO

Parent Info is a collaboration between CEOP and The Parent Zone.

Parent Info provides high quality information to parents and carers about their children's wellbeing and resilience.

This service is free and ranges across a wide range of subject matter, from difficult topics about sex, relationships and the internet or body image and peer pressure to broader parenting topics like ‘how much sleep do teenagers need?’

In line with CEOP’s Thinkuknow programme, some of the content covers internet safety, but it all starts from the assumption that young people make little distinction between their online and offline lives and the issues for parents are often the same. The aim is to help parents help their children be discriminating, web-literate and resilient.
